Square Enix to show 16 games at Tokyo Game Show

Later this month Japanese game developers and publishers flock to the Tokyo Game Show, and we get to see the titles expected to launch in time for the holidays and early next year.

One of the biggest publishers in attendance is Square Enix, and it has started announcing which games will be on show from its rich catalog. In total, 16 games will be there either in video of playable form. That’s not counting any surprise announcements during the show.

Remember, Square Enix is a global publisher as well as a developer, so some of these games will be from third-parties and either be released already in the West, or planned for a Western release.

Here’s the 16 games planned for the show:

Front Mission Evolved (PS3/X360/Win): Playable & Video

Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded (DS): Playable & Video

Lord of Arcana (PSP): Playable & Video

Tactics Ogre (PSP): Playable & Video

The 3rd Birthday (PSP): Playable & Video

Mind Jack (PS3/X360): Playable & Video

Final Fantasy Legends (Mobile): Playable & Video

Call of Duty Black Ops (PS3/X360/Win): Video

Deus Ex (PS3/X360): Video

Lara Croft Guardian of Light (PS3/X360): Playable & Video

Final Fantasy XIV (PS3/Win): Video

Final Fantasy XI (PS2/X360/Win): Video

Fallout New Vegas (PS3/X360) Playable

Craft Mama (DS) Playable

Baby Sitter Mama (Wii) Playable

Motto! Stitch! (DS) Playable

The Tokyo Game Show kicks of on September 16, with public days over the weekend of the 18-19th.

I’m sure this is just the tip of the iceberg for what we will get a look at during TGS. Of the Square Enix line-up I’m hoping for new footage of Deus Ex and some gameplay video from the show floor of Tactics Ogre in action. Mind Jack also looks interesting.

Any Final Fantasy game/s will be a big draw for Japanese gamers, but Baby Sitter Mama? I think if you need to get away from the crowds this area of the show floor will be pretty empty for most of the four days.
